Order to Show Cause

An Order to Show Cause is submitted to the judge, requesting some form of relief to a party. An Order to Show Cause is similar to a Notice of Motion but the process is quicker, shortening the amount of time for parties to respond and return to court.In a landlord-tenant matter, a motion for an Order to Show Cause is usually submitted by a tenant to prevent eviction.

In landlord-tenant matters, motions are often made by tenants to request more time to pay or cure any defects in order to delay eviction. Motions tend to stall and prolong litigation but it is our goal at James G. Dibbini & Associates, P.C. to resolve cases as quickly as possible for our clients in order to save them time and money.
